Indiana Jones is supposed to be timeless - but what happens when a beloved franchise leans on nostalgia, de-aging, and CGI until there’s almost nothing left to grab onto?

In this brutally honest debut, MMD breaks down why Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny landed on his worst-movies-ever list and why it left a bigger hole than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ever did.

MMD grew up on Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and the kind of movies you can quote for life - so when Dial of Destiny finally got a shot, he gave it a real chance. Instead, he walked away thinking the film had some of the worst ideas ever put to a script, from its time-travel plot and awkward “remember berries” to its uncanny de-aged opening and prop design that looks surprisingly cheap for a Disney blockbuster.

You'll hear him unpack why Harrison Ford still shines in the right role, why Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Helena Shaw feels more like a plot device than a co-lead, and why Mads Mikkelsen and Antonio Banderas are left stranded in a story that can’t justify its own stakes. He also gets into the franchise problem behind modern blockbusters - how studios keep squeezing familiar IP for juice while the magic, texture, and tension keep disappearing.

This episode is more than a takedown of one movie. It’s a sharp, funny, occasionally furious look at what makes a film worth your time, why practical storytelling still matters, and how a dad thinks about the movies he wants his daughter to grow up with.

If you care about films, franchises, nostalgia, or just want a no-BS take on a movie everybody seems to have an opinion about, this one is for you.Perfect for movie fans, parents, and anyone who has ever left a sequel wondering, “Why did they make this?”
